Installation
1.
Air conditioners should not be installed in areas where corrosive gases, such as acid or alkaline gas, are produced.
2. Do not install the product where it could be exposed to sea wind (salty wind) directly. It can result corrosion
on the product. Corrosion, particularly on the condenser and evaporator fins, could cause product
malfunction or inefficient performance.
3. If outdoor unit is installed close to the seaside, it should avoid direct exposure to the sea wind. Otherwise it
needs additional anticorrosion treatment on the heat exchanger.
1.
If you can’t meet above guide line in the seaside installation, please contact LG Electronics for the additional anticorrosion treatment.
2. Periodic ( more than once/year ) cleaning of the dust or salt particles stuck on the heat exchanger by using water
4) Installation guide at the seaside
4.1 Selecting the location(Outdoor Unit)
1) If the outdoor unit is to be installed close to the seaside, direct exposure to the sea wind should be avoided.
Install the outdoor unit on the opposite side of the sea wind direction.
2) In case, to install the outdoor unit on the seaside, set up a windbreak not to be exposed to the sea wind.
3) Select a well-drained place.
• It should be strong enough like concrete to prevent
the sea wind from the sea.
• The height and width should be more than 150% of
the outdoor unit.
• It should be keep more than 70 cm of space
between outdoor unit and the windbreak for easy
air flow.

Installation
Select and mark the position for fixing bolts
and piping hole.
Decide the position for fixing bolts slightly
tilted to the drain direction after considering
the direction of drain hose.
Drill the hole for anchor bolt on the wall.
CAUTION:
This air-conditioner uses a drain pump.
Horizontally install the unit using a
level gauge.
During the installation, care should be
taken not to damage electric wires.
Thoroughly study the following installation locations:
1. In such places as restaurants and kitchens, considerable amount of oil steam and flour
adhere to the turbo fan, the fin of the heat exchanger and the drain pump, resulting in heat
exchange reduction, spraying, dispersing of water drops, drain pump malfunction, etc.
In these cases, take the following actions:
Make sure that the ventilation fan for smoke-collecting hood on a cooking table has
sufficient capacity so that it draws oily steam which should not flow into the suction of the
air conditioner.
Make enough distance from a cooking room to install the air conditioner in such a place
where it may not suck in oily steam.
2. Avoid installing air conditioner in such circumstances where cutting oil mist or iron powder is
in suspension in factories, etc.
3. Avoid places where inflammable gas is generated, flows in, is stored or vented.
4. Avoid places where sulfurous acid gas or corrosive gas is generated.
5. Avoid places
near high
frequency generators.

Remote Controller Installation
Although the room temperature sensor is in the indoor unit, the remote controller should be installed in
such places away from direct sunlight and high humidity.
Installation of the remote controller
Select places that are not splashed with water.
Select control position after receiving customer approval.
The room temperature sensor is built in the indoor unit.
This remote controller equipped with liquid crystal display. If this position is higher or lower, display is
to
see. (The standard height is 1.2 ~ 1.5m high)
Routing of the remote controller cord
Keep the remote controller cord away from the refrigerant piping and the drain piping.
To protect the remote controller cord from electrical noise, place the cord at least 5cm away from other power
cables (audio equipment, television set, etc.)
If the remote controller cord is secured to the wall, provide a trap at the top of the cord to prevent water
droplets from running.

Preparation of Piping
Connecting Pipes to the Indoor Unit
Main cause of gas leakage is defect in flaring
work. Carry out correct flaring work in the
following procedure.
1) Cut the pipes and the cable.
Use the accessory piping kit or the pipes
purchased locally.
Measure the distance between the indoor and
the outdoor unit.
Cut the pipes a little longer than measured
distance.
Cut the ca ble 1.5m longer than the pipe
length.
2) Burrs removal
Completely remove all burrs from the cut
cross section of pipe/tube.
Put the end of the copper tube/pipe to
downward direction as you remove burrs in
order to avoid to let burrs drop in the tubing.
3) Putting nut on
Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and
outdoor units, than put them on pipe/tube
having completed burr removal.
(Not possi ble to put them on after flaring
work)
4) Flaring work
Carry out flaring work using flaring tool as
shown below.
Firmly hold copper
tube in a bar(or die) as
indicated dimension in the table above.
5) Check
Compare the flared work with figure below.
If flare is noted to be defective, cut off the
flared section and do flaring work again.

Installation
1. Form the piping according to its routing. Avoid bending
and bending back the same piping point more than three
times. (This will result in hardening the pipe.)
2. After deforming the piping, align centers of the union
fitting of the indoor unit and the piping, and tighten them
firmly with wrenche s.
3. Connect pipe to the se rvice valve or ball valve which is
located below the outdoor unit.
4. After completing the piping connection, be sure to check
if there is gas leakage in indoor and outdoor connection.
After completing the piping connection, execute vacuum
drying for the connecting piping and the indoor unit.
The vacuum drying must be car ried out using the se rvice
ports of both the liquid and gas side valves.
CAUTION: Use two wrenches and
tighten with regular torque.

Installation
1. Use the heat insulation material for the refrigerant piping which has an excellent heat-resistance
(over 120°C).
2. Precautions in high humidity
circumstance:
This air conditioner has been tested
according to the "KS Standard Conditions
with Mist" and confirmed that there is not
any default. However, if it is operated for a
long time in high humid atmosphere (dew
point temperature: more than 23°C), water
drops are liable to fall. In this case, add
heat insulation material according to the
following procedure:
Heat insulation material to be prepared Adiabatic glass wool with thickness 10 to 20mm.
Stick glass wool on all air conditioners that are located in ceiling atmosphere.
In addition to the normal heat insulation (thickness: more than 8mm) for refrigerant piping (gas
piping: thick piping) and drain piping, add further 10mm to 30mm thickness material.

HEAT INSULATION
1. Wrap the connecting portion of indoor
unit with the Insulation material and
secure it with two Plastic Bands. (for the
right pipings)
If you want to connect an additional drain
hose, the end of the drain-outlet should keep
distance from the ground. (Do not dip it into
water, and
it on the wall to avoid swinging
in the wind.)
2. Tape the Pipings, drain hose and
Connecting Cable from bottom to top.
3. Form the pipings gathered by taping
along the exterior wall and fix it onto the
wall by saddle or equivalent.
In case of the Outdoor unit being installed
below position of the Indoor unit.
FORM THE PIPINGS
Trap is required to prevent water from entering
into electrical parts.
Seal a small opening

1) PRECAUTIONS IN TEST RUN
The initial power supply must provide at least 90% of the rated voltage.
Otherwise, the air conditioner should not be operated.
CAUTION:
For test run, carry out the cooling operation firstly even during heating season. If heating
operation is carried out firstly, it leads to the trouble of compressor. Then attention must be paid.
Carry out the test run more than 5 minutes without fail.
(Test run will be cancelled 18 minutes later automatically)
The test run is started by pressing the room temperature checking button and down timer button for 3
seconds at the same time.
To cancel the test run, press any button.
After completing work, be sure to measure and record trial run properties, and store measured data, etc.
Measuring items are room temperature, outside temperature, suction temperature, blow out temperature,
wind velocity, wind volume, voltage, current, presence of abnormal vibration and noise, operating pressure,
piping temperature, compressive pressure.
As to the structure and appearance, check following items.
CHECK THE FOLLOWING ITEMS WHEN INSTALLATION IS COMPLETED
Is the circulation of air adequate?
Is the draining smooth?
Is the heat insulation complete
(refrigerant and drain piping)?
Is there any leakage of refrigerant?
Is the remote controller switch operated?
Is there any faulty wiring?
Are not terminal screws loosened?
